IMPROVED TILL-CHECK.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part o f the same.

To all whom 'it may concern.:

-o' my improved money drawer.

Figure .4 is a vertical transverse section of the same. Figure 3 is an inverted plan 'viewrof the cover of the same.

Figure 4 is a detaill longitudinal section of thesame.,

Similar letters of reference indicate lcorresponding parts.

This inv ntion relates to an improved device -for locking mo' ley and4 other drawers; and

1t consists in the combination of a rectangular; frame and sprinfflocking bar, with the table or counter, and the drahrer having` its look set low upon the front plate, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

A, in the drawing, represents vthe, top plate of a counter, table, bureau, or other'device, under which the drawer B is arranged,

This drawer is represented as suspended by its grooved sides from a frame, @,fastened to the under side of the top plate, as shown in g. 2 and lig. 3

The frame C is closed in front by a bar, a, against which thev front plate b of 'the draWer-abuts, as inde,

cated in g. l. y y The lock D is set so much lower on the under side of the plate b that it will clear the bar a.

The bolt c, when locked, fits into a recess provided in the bar a, and is thus not brought opposite the crevice, between b and A, as usua'l. .It can, therefore, not be reached by a knife or other tool, t0 be pressed down. y L When the drawer is supported otherwise than by a traine, C, the bar a should be separately arranged on the under side of the plate A, as in iig. 4, and will have the same effect.

An additional locking-device maybe provided by a lever E, which ispivoted to one side bar of the frame C, and which has its rear end depressed by a. spring, d, so that said rear end will catch against the rear plate e of the drawer, to vprevent the same from being pulled out.4

A pin, F, arranged in the trout Dart of the frame C, with cranks at both ends. will, when turned by 'means of its projecting front crank f, raise the rear end-.of the lever E out oi the way of the plate e.

'Ilhe cra-nl; f is concealed under the plate A, and 'cannot readily. be found lexcept by those knowing its place and arrangement. f

Hamng thus descriheduny inyention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let- Witnesses FRANK BLOCKLEY, ALEX. F. ROBERTS.
